FunctionPublication Abstract from PubMedThe biological functions of the dual bromodomains of human transcription-initiation-factor TFIID subunit 1 (TAF1(1,2)) remain unknown, although TAF1 has been identified as a potential target for oncology research. Here, we describe the discovery of a potent and selective in vitro tool compound for TAF1(2), starting from a previously reported lead. A cocrystal structure of lead compound 2 bound to TAF1(2) enabled structure-based design and structure-activity-relationship studies that ultimately led to our in vitro tool compound, 27 (GNE-371). Compound 27 binds TAF1(2) with an IC50 of 10 nM while maintaining excellent selectivity over other bromodomain-family members. Compound 27 is also active in a cellular-TAF1(2) target-engagement assay (IC50 = 38 nM) and exhibits antiproliferative synergy with the BET inhibitor JQ1, suggesting engagement of endogenous TAF1 by 27 and further supporting the use of 27 in mechanistic and target-validation studies.
